PM: Turkey, Azerbaijan – region's most developing countries

Turkey and Azerbaijan are the most developing countries in the region, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Dec.4.

He made the remarks while speaking at ADA University in Baku. Davutoglu noted that Azerbaijan and Turkey are leading countries in the Eurasian region.

"Turkey and Azerbaijan have always supported and will continue to support each other," he added.

Today, the two countries implement important energy projects, such as TANAP, said Davutoglu.

The prime minister reminded that at the time when Europe was thinking about implementation of Nabucco project, Azerbaijan and Turkey started to implement the TANAP project which is proceeding successfully.

He pointed out that TANAP will change the region's energy map.

TANAP project envisages transportation of gas of Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz field from Georgian-Turkish border to the western borders of Turkey. The project's total cost is estimated at $10 billion.
